🌟 A pure and terroir-driven expression of Jerez—textural, mineral, and quietly powerful.
👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with silver edges—brilliant and delicate.
👃 On the Nose:
Refined and savoury, with aromas of chamomile, salted lemon, raw almond, and wet chalk. Whispery notes of fennel and oyster shell speak of its coastal origin.
👅 On the Palate:
Bone-dry and textured, with flavours of preserved citrus, quince, and crushed stone. Saline and tightly wound, it finishes with remarkable precision and length, echoing the chalky soils of Macharnudo Alto.
🍽 Food Pairing:
Superb with Iberico ham, marinated anchovies, grilled cuttlefish, or aged Manchego. A white wine for lovers of umami and maritime intensity.
⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now for its purity and texture; will age gracefully over the next 4–6 years, developing deeper savoury complexity.
✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Ojo de Gallo is not your typical white wine—it’s a soulful, unfortified glimpse into the heart of Jerez. Pure Palomino from iconic terroir, made with minimalist precision and saline elegance. A must for sherry lovers and terroir enthusiasts alike.
